Is it to raise people from poverty into the middle class?

or

Is it to drag people in the middle class to lower rungs of the social ladder?

or

Is it another goal which I'm not seeing?

Destroy America...but I don't know how anyone can't see that. Their actions show it and their words declare it.

Equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity.

It's an impossible goal to begin with, which will result in bringing down quality of life for everybody.

For the really hardcore progressives, I don't think they will be satisfied until there is some sort of pseudo-1984 type society.

The regressive left does not care about people's welfare. They only care about getting people to vote them into office and increase their power.

Their goal is to unequivocally raise people from the lower class


But many of them don't understand basic economics well enough to realize that the actions they use in pursuit of this goal have unintended consequences

bullshite. If that were their goal they wouldn't be leftists. Either that, or they are so blindly incompetent they can't put together their consistently failing policies.

This. They really want to do away with the middle class altogether and make us like Mexico with a rich crony ruling elite at the top and everyone else poor and at the bottom.

All of society being equal.

Equally poor and equally dependent.

Middle class votes for lower taxes and less regs

Those on the lower rungs vote for more handouts.

They're really just ignorant. They have a notion of equality that doesn't jibe with human nature and when that notion is pushed too far it results in people dying.

Control....

Liberal progressives are convinced/delusion and believe they are smarter than the ignorant masses and have a manifest destiny to control the masses for the greater good. As such the progressive left strategy is the exact opposite of freedom. They absolutely do not want people to have freedom shape their own destinies through individual choices and accountability.

This is not their intended goal, at least not consciously, so far as I can tell. However, there is no means for the progressive socialist/fascist/communist to achieve the equality of results they seek other than to take away from those that have.

Just look at Odumbf*ckCare for your answer. For people who were doing the "right" thing and paying for THEIR insurance based upon their circumstances, Odumdf*ckCare has screwed them so badly that they are now paying OBSCENE premiums for insurance that they can't even use because of the even MORE OBSCENE deductibles. But, the leeches who vote for filth like Odumbf*ck (who were the "free riders" that Odumbf*ck himself complained about as a reason why we needed Odumbf*ckCare) now get FREE, or near-free, insurance paid for by the people who are now getting ROYALLY F*CKED by Odumbf*ckCare.

Then...I guess the question is; does wealth redistribution raise people out of poverty, or create more of a dependent class?

No progressive has ever been able to answer what they believe they should be progressing towards...

They can do ad hominem...that's about it
